In this weeks episode, I return from my unintentional month long yapping break to talk about the big feelings I've been having recently and how I am still finding the goo...

It doesn't feel easy but when we take it one thought at a time we can do anything. So take a breathe, l...

Life doesn't follow a set plan as much as I sometimes wish it did. In this weeks episode I sit down and chat about the pressure of timelines, finding your own pace, and why 5-year plans are stupid.

Let’s talk about the winter wearies. My least favourite time of year. The time where I am always tired, unmotivated and kinda blah feeling.
